ne President Dsfsnds the Action ~ IL
Treasury Departmsnt In Refunln8 -
Purchase Hish-Pricsd Bonds.
WASHINGTON, Sept 1a-In regard to IT,
purchase Of bonds by the Government the
President said yesterday: 1.-THE criticism
upon the action Of the Treasury Depart
ment for the refusal to accent any Of the
offers Of bonds last Wednesday. it seems to
me, is inconsideratcly made. In tho FIRST.
place the offers were higher, considering
the lapse Of the time that they had to run,
than they had heretofore been and did not
present as favorable terms to the Govern
ment in the next place, the number offered
was much less than on former occasions.
These facts may well give rise tn the in
ference to people holding bonds that he
preferred them to money. The Government
wants to buy the bonds to answer the re-
quirements Of the law relating to the sink
ing fund and it is willing to advance
interest on such bonds as are not
bought, and thus supply any imme-
date demand there may be for money.
These two movements OF the Treasury De-
partment are calcHlated to release q good
deal of money and turn it into business
channels if required; but they are both ex-
ecutive acts and must be performed with q
due regard to the interests Of the Govern
ments IS one of the parties to these trans
actions. There is no disposition to drive a
sharp bargain with the owners Of the
bonds, but it will not do to say that t5ere 10.
no side to the bargain except that Of the
seller and holder, and that these bonds
must be bought and the interest advanced
on such terms as their interests alone die
tate. The competition offered in the sale
of bonds is a just way to fix their prices
and Will be fairly pursued as long as it
seems to protect against an undue advan-
tage on the part of sellers and results In
offers which, upon business considerations,
ought to regulate their value as between
private parties. The Government ought
not to be expected, regardless Of any pub
lie purpose, to identity itself with private
business or speculation"

Sioux Indians Making Trouble Over the Al
lotment OF Lands.
WASHINGTON, Sept. H.-Information has.
been received at the Indian Office from.
Indian Agent Kinney and Special Agent
West at the Yankt0n (Dak.) agency. that
about thirty bucks OF the Yankton Sioux
threaten violence to the surveyors and,
special agents, under whose supervision al
lotments of land are being made, as well as
those OF their tribe who are receiving their
allotments. The surveyors have several
times been driven from their work. Acting
upon this information the Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs, through the Acting.
Secretary of the Interior, has re-
quested the War Department to in-
struct the commanding officer at
Fort Randall, Oak, by telegraphed to.
send q sufficient force to the reservation to
protect all persons from violence and to-
enforce the orders Of the agent when called.
upon by him. The War Department
promptly complied with this request. An.
inspector on the ground reports that two
thirds of these Indians desire allotments.
and that the thirty obstructiOnists belong
to the non-progressive element. In his
letter of request to the Secretary Of War,
Acting Secretary MuldrOw says: ut is
the desire OF the department that the TAX
ing of allotments Of lands under the Sever.
atty act Of February =, 1851, shall be volun-
tary on the part of the Indians accepting
them, and that all coercive measures be-,
avoided, especially the employment Of mil
itary force. except where absolutely neces-
sary to protect the Indians willingly tax
ing allotments in the possession and en-
ioyment of the same"

steps to oil the journals, when his foot
slipped, and to save himself from falling.

-"Do Sarator1 chips come from Sarato-
Ca" inquired reporter OF grocer. Not
much" said the grocer. They are made
in this city, and many are shipped to Sara
togs. But If you want to know all about
them just go up to the bakery and see how
they are made" At tine bakery it was
learned that the concern has a monopoly OF
the business in this city, and that there are
only three makers Of Saratoga chips il
the country. Chips are an American insti-
tuition, and are not known abroad save for
some small lots that have been exported.
The process OF manufacturing is in part q
secret. The potatoes are peeled and sliced
by machinery. They are washed and then
dried between muslin cloths. If they
were now fried the amount Of starch
that they contain would make them brown,
and the secret of the business is to remove
all Of the starch, so that the chips will be
perfectly white. When this is done they
are put into the hot grease, and come out
curled and crisp and with the delicious
flavor that has made them famous the
world over. Said the manager: 1--WE use
seventy-fve barrels Of potatoes a week,
keep seven bakers at work, and hare three
wagons out delivering. Hotels take them
by the barrel, restaurants take them In
twenty-five pound boxes, and for grOcers to
serve to private families we put them up
in one-pound cartons. The diuing-cars on
nearly all the railroads use them, and we
have sent some to England. A few minutes
in a hot oven makes them Is crisp a. il
Just fried."-E T. Hail

The Eastern Cut.

NEW YORK, Sept. l6-The new feature
in the cut in passenger rates this morning
was the sale Of a number OF tickets to citi-
Gems at one-half the regular rate. Tickets
were sold by brokers to Atlanta for SIS and
to New Orleans for SIS and SO. The
regular fare to the first named city
is SIS and to New Orleans S35. The
fare to st. Louis-sl9-is so far the
lowest OF the week. In spite Of the as.
eurance OF the Central Traffic Association,
the tendency seemed to be toward still
further reduction. Brokers claim that the
coming meeting OF the G. A. R at St. Louis,
with its accompanying low excursion rates,
will continue the war inspite Of every thing.

the Fisheries Question.
WASHINGTON. Sept 1i.--Iu answer to an,
inquiry yesterday relative to the statement
made IN the British House of Commons by
Sir James Furgason to the effect that the
United States Government had ordered the
discontlnuance of the seizures Of British
vessels sealing in Alaskan waters, Secre--
tary Of State Bayard, said that his
attention had already been drawn,
to the matter and he had read the state
ment with surprise. He knew nothing OF
the making Of al order such as described.
The vessels seized this summer are now in
the custody Of the judiciary awaiting the
action of the courts, which will determine
the legality of the seizures. Touching
that part of the statement ascribed
to the British Parliamentary Secretary
where he said that the seizures were to
be discontinued while the fisheries negotia-
tons were in progress, Secretary Bayard
said there was no relation or connection of
any kind between the seizures in Alaskan.

treaty Of 1878 relative to the Canadian fish,
